We enjoyed again return Red Funnel ferry to the Isle of Wight. The car number plate recognition has certainly sped up booking in process. Left on time. Good range of amenities on board. If I remember correctly, the Solent is the most expensive stretch of water to cross in the universe. or something.” Tank Girl, Urban75 Forums

Greig, Malcolm and McQuaid, Ronald W (2005) The impact of ferry services on an island economy. In: European Regional Science Association Conference) At this point, they will most likely respond: “No no, we’ll get this, you got the ice creams”. This works particularly well if they haven’t yet seen the admission price.

The most expensive ferry in the world: a comparison of the cost of Scottish ferries to cross-Solent ferries was undertaken by Neil Kay, Emeritus Professor in the Economics Department, University of Strathclyde in January 2011 The longest journey in the data is the Southampton to New York cruise (far right point). Choosing this was difficult given the wide range of cruise prices, but I chose a return voyage at a standard rate. I had expected that to be far off the chart for price, but amazingly it is pretty close to the line. Understandably it is higher than the expected level, possibly because the facilities on board are significantly better than a ferry, but nonetheless it is interesting to see that the price for a cruise is not dissimilar to that of a normal ferry anywhere else – albeit over a hugely longer distance. Future work It's quite complicated because the price fluctuates depending on when you visit and whether you book in advance.

Thank you Sarah for your review. We are sorry you feel this way and we appreciate that people always have a choice of who they travel with. We have offered an ongoing 20% discount for Island residents through our Blue card for a decade, demonstrating that we care a great deal about offering the Island community good value fares. This is a paid for piece on behalf of Wight Link and others with interests in preserving their monopoly over the crossing. At least be open about that. Reply I disregarded any free ferries (there were very few of these) or ferries that do not publish their tariff on the internet. I included all the Solent crossings, and all the ferry crossings I could find in this region, plus an arbitrary selection of other crossings starting in the UK, including those going to foreign countries. I tried to find crossings of varying lengths to test the theory that price was connected to distance travelled; so I sought out short crossings and long ones. I measured the ferry distances using Google Maps and approximate routes. Actual distance travelled may be different, especially over longer distances. I focused on UK crossings but also sampled a few outside the UK to see if they were very different (some were, so for my final dataset I excluded crossings that did not include the UK*). I also tried to include a number of chain ferry crossings because I wanted to compare the pricing of Cowes Floating Bridge too.Great online store for board games. They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. The Frequent Visitor Pass holders have to come into the park with you. They can't just lend you the pass. However, I can't see any reason why they couldn't walk out five minutes later.
